Real Madrid have announced the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Liverpool will receive an eight-figure transfer fee.

Alexander-Arnold, 26, was under contract with boyhood club Liverpool until June 30 but Real will pay them a total of £10million - an £8.4m fee plus his remaining wages - in order to sign him a month early.

The agreement allows the England international, who's signed a five-year deal worth more than £220,000 per week, to feature at this summer's Club World Cup which Real will compete in unlike Liverpool.



Alexander-Arnold confirmed on May 3 that he'd be leaving Liverpool after 20 years at the club.

Having broken into the Reds' first-team back in 2016, the right-back went on to win two Premier League titles, one Champions League, one FA Cup and one League Cup.

Announcing the move, Real said: "Real Madrid CF and Liverpool FC have reached an agreement that will keep Trent Alexander-Arnold at our club for the next six seasons, from June 1, 2025, to June 30, 2031."

Liverpool added: "Liverpool FC can confirm an offer has been accepted for Trent Alexander-Arnold from Real Madrid for his transfer upon the opening of the June transfer window."

The defender was booed on his first outing at Anfield after confirming the news of his exit, but his second and final appearance post-announcement was good-natured.

"I didn't know what to expect stepping out at Anfield after what had happened a few weeks ago," Alexander-Arnold said amid Liverpool's Premier League title celebrations.
